The Goal.com Asia Team of the Month for January 2013

9. Attacking Midfielder - Omar Abdulrahman (UAE, Al-Ain)

Known as Amoory, the 21-year-old shined in the Gulf Cup of Nations with two goals in the UAE's championship run. His two goals came at the beginning and the end of the tournament; the first a 13th-minute equalizer against Qatar on January 5, and the second in the 28th minute against Iraq to open scoring in the January 18 final.

In addition to the goals, 'Amoory' notched two assists to increase his profile even further. After his London Olympics appearance earned him a trial at Manchester City, Abdulrahman chose to stay at Al Ain as a sign of loyalty. But it's becoming more and more apparent that the midfielder's destiny lies in Europe.
